Round cotton ecru tablecloth with embroidered pink and magenta flowers and green leaves finished with an 11" heavy open-crocheted scalloped border. There are two big flowers on each side with green stems, while on the opposite sides there is one flower with a green-yellow stem. There are flower petals in between the flowers. The scalloped crocheted border alternates between a design with three leaves and one with only one leaf. The scalloped border is finished with a more dainty crocheted open lace edge with smaller scallops.

Ecru is the color of undyed cotton. Crochet is a process of creating fabric with interlocking loops of yarn. It uses a hooked needle.
